After a brief period of chaos, the troops entered an orderly state during wartime.
All the medical personnel in the entire army rescued the wounded with all their strength and speed.
Experienced soldiers were dispatched to help treat the wounded and clean up the bombed sites. Soldiers who died in battle were buried on the spot after leaving their name tags.
Worried that Japanese planes would attack again, they immediately built anti-aircraft machine gun positions.
Since the only solitary bridge in front of this road was destroyed in the Japanese bombing just now, the army immediately sent engineers to build a simple pontoon bridge and used people to act as bridge pillars in the river. First, let the large troops cross the river, and then evacuate the combat teams. Xing was marching towards Shanghai. This time he was severely damaged by Japanese air raids. It was because the marching team was too concentrated and confused, and their thinking was paralyzed and careless, resulting in heavy casualties.
Another important and main reason for this attack was that this unit did not expect that a Japanese fighter plane would suddenly attack.
According to the battle report given by the military department last night, it was said that the Chinese air force was overwhelming and had the absolute upper hand, and the Japanese air force was unable to withstand the attack.
Therefore, this Sichuan army never dreamed that Japanese aviation would launch a sneak attack into the interior of China.
The battle situation reported by the military department last night was slapped in the face today. Japanese fighter planes attacked in the afternoon. The Sichuan Army troops reinforcing Shanghai were suddenly attacked and suffered heavy casualties.
In fact, this cannot be entirely blamed on the military. Before last night, the Chinese Air Force did have air superiority. However, after the failure of the Wusongkou defense battle this morning, the air power of China and Japan suddenly changed.
The battlefield situation is changing rapidly.
During World War II, when information was lagging behind, sometimes we would receive a favorable battle report from one side an hour ago, and the headquarters would send reward materials. When the logistics personnel who delivered the materials arrived half an hour later, our entire army would have been wiped out, and even the people who sent the materials would not have been there. Going in often happens.
Due to the successful landing of Japanese troops at Wusongkou, Chuansha, Shizilin and other places at dawn, the war situation in Shanghai suddenly changed. The Japanese army with super military efficiency immediately built two airstrips in Shanghai. Type 95 ship-to-ship combat, Type 95-type ship-to-ship combat, Type 98-type ship attack and other types of fighter jets landed in Shanghai one after another, surpassing China in the number of fighter jets for the first time.
In addition, the Japanese army can also take off Type 96 naval attack ships from Taipei and other places to bomb various airports in mainland China. Therefore, in just half a day, the Chinese Air Force immediately changed from its initial advantage at the beginning of the war to a disadvantage.
China's military aircraft are seriously insufficient, because while the Air Force serves as the fulcrum of the Songhu Battle, it also allocates some fighter aircraft to defend the capital Nanjing.
The fighter planes defending Nanjing have been stationed at Nanjing Airport and dare not leave. God knows when the Japanese air force will attack, and the Japanese fighter planes can be assigned to various battlefields at any time as aerial fire support.
Therefore, when the Japanese fighter jets stationed in Shanghai surpassed China's for the first time, the strength between the two sides waxed and waned. The Chinese Air Force could only change its strategy and tactics, from the initial proactive attack to passive defense.
Sneak attacks and bombings like the Japanese just now will only increase but not decrease in the future.
As more and more soldiers were sent from the follow-up troops to help treat the wounded, Zhou Zhihan, Yangguai, Captain Zhao Fu and others sat aside to take a breath. The eight of them were covered in blood, and they were silent as they looked at the wounded soldiers and bloody scenes everywhere. Without saying a word, they each smoked one cigarette after another.
The six people in MI2 had never seen such a bloody scene. Two people were vomiting and could only get up and stay away.
Vice Captain Zhao looked at Zhou Zhihan without speaking, looking apologetic, and then silently handed over a cigarette.
The two understand each other!
All for the country.
After a while, Captain Zhao Fu went to look for army officers to see if he could borrow a military vehicle. This place was still far away from Nanjing. There was no village or shop in the area. It looked like he was going to sleep in the wilderness tonight.
Zhou Zhihan asked Yangguai: "How come you, a big man from the Northeast, ended up joining the Sichuan Army in the South?"
Yangguai narrowed his eyes covered in smoke: "I used to be a member of the Northeast Army. During September 18, the Nationalist Government pursued a policy of non-resistance, which led to the fall of Northeast China. Then I left the army and went to Sichuan with Lao Abacus and several other veterans. It was a small business, but who knew that Lao Abacus's business was nonsense, and several people lost all their capital. In order not to live on the streets as beggars, they were forced to become soldiers again and pick up guns. Anyway, there is no way to go back to the Northeast. You can shoot the devils wherever you have a gun.”
I see.
Zhou Zhihan handed another cigarette to Yangguai: "Why do you guys have such weird names? You are called Yangguai, which is ugly enough. There is also a person named Laobapan. You can tell he is very shrewd when he urinates. A person who has passed away."
"He's shrewd as hell!" Yangguai reached out to take the cigarette and continued, "Old Abacus, this piece of shit is only good at abacus, but he's so shitty in business, he almost lost a few of us as pants."
Zhou Zhihan grinned: "It seems that Lao Abacus's name is worthy of his name."
Yangguai also laughed: "This old boy has never done business, and he is very useless at abacus. He used to be an abacusist in the logistics department and could not make any profit. After leaving the army, he lied to us. I went to Sichuan to do business, but I lost my labor and capital and am still a bachelor."
Zhou Zhihan smiled and wanted to see what this old abacus looked like. He could actually deceive someone like Yangguai into being a bachelor in his thirties.
"That old boy is very semen, and even the Prince of Hell who is covered in oil and slickness can't catch him. Now the military supplies office of the division headquarters is flattering and he doesn't have to go to the front line."
Yangguai looked at Zhou Zhihan as he spoke, and then said to the MI2 people sitting in the distance: "I just saw them shooting at you."
Zhou Zhihan nodded.
Yangguai didn't speak either.
"You're not a bad person!"
After a long time, Yangguai said.
Then the two of them stayed silent together and smoked.
After a while, Vice Captain Zhao came back. He didn't borrow the car. He only brought back a donkey, pulling a broken cart that was already overwhelmed.
It's good to be able to get donkeys and carts. The army in front of us suffered heavy casualties. There were hundreds of wounded people who needed cars alone. If it weren't for an officer who looked at MI2's kindness, let alone the donkeys, they would have lost their roots. You can't even get donkey hair.
After saying goodbye to Yangguai, Zhou Zhihan, Vice Captain Zhao and a group of six people took the donkey cart back to another intersection, and then took a detour towards Nanjing.
After finally escaping from the Japanese bombing just now, Captain Zhao Fu would rather take a detour than run in the opposite direction of the Sichuan army. What if another Japanese military plane appears over that road and searches along the road.
A group of seven people rode in a donkey cart and traveled nearly a hundred miles, stopping and stopping according to the map. Three days later they arrived at the Taihu Lake in Suzhou. They borrowed a broken jeep from the police station. The seven people crowded in the car and headed towards Heading towards Nanjing.
After repairing and stopping along the way, it was not until the afternoon of the next day that this broken car carried seven people to the outside of Nanjing.
Vice Captain Zhao did not rush into the city, but found a hotel for Zhou Zhihan and the other five team members to stay temporarily. He secretly returned to the city first to find his old classmates, who were now arrested by MI2. Fan Yuxin, deputy chief of the department, wanted to see if he could find out from him how Zhou Zhihan collaborated with the enemy and betrayed his country.
After Zhou Zhihan sacrificed his life to warn the Sichuan army that day and spent the past few days together, Vice Captain Zhao and his team members secretly discussed it. They all agreed that Zhou Zhihan was definitely not the kind of person who collaborated with the enemy and betrayed his country.
But the six deputy captains Zhao knew what the charge of collaboration with the enemy and the country meant. They also knew that if Zhou Zhihan was sent to the torture room of the Military Intelligence Agency and interrogated, it would be even harder to come up with it.
